can anyone tell me where the fuel pump is on a 99 classic ta

 

Remove the back seat and you will find a oval panel screwed in. Remove the panel and there it is.

 

Ive seen two bolts at the front of the rear seat,how does the rest come off?

 

Undo the visible 2 you mentioned. Then the bottom of the seat comes out. Once removed you will see another 2 for the backrest. Undo them and it all comes out.

 

cheers mate

 

Cheers,the reason i ask ive got a walbro pump coming,im not exactly mecanically minded,is the pump an easy DIY or should i let my friendly mechanic do it?

 

Easy enough, just be careful removing it as the fuel sender bits and bods are on the end. Do not use the filter that comes with the uprated fuel pump. keep the fitted one on your current pump.
Enjoy.
One think though, unless your re mapping, I wouldn't bother fitting one till you do, you'll have no difference in performance and a slight whiff of fuel
Cheers P

 

HMMMMM,i am getting a remap,but not until September,should i wait until nearer the day?

 

Would be M8, have a play so your happy with what your doing. Then a few days prior replace cabbie about to get fuel through, then remap. Its **** to fit, no priming or anything.

 

!!!!!

 

Thankyou mate,i think ill take your advice.

 

i hope you are going to fit a uprated fuel regulator ???????

 

Here we go,fuel regulator?Heard i dont need that if im just remapping up to 270bhp ish mark???

 

To be fair you prob dont even need an uprated FP for 270.

 

Okay mate no need to rub it in,270 is a big hike for me!lol!!!Thanks though, just want to get everything right for the remap,took me alot to actually go for it, Bob Rawles doing it.

 

ask what bob thinks about a reg ????

 

Hehe!! Didnt mean it that way.

Sti's run 280 as standard without an uprated pump so guess its not necessary. Might be wrong tho.

 

Ill get in touch with Bob,thanks for all the input,much appreciated.

 

 

As said above, pretty much the back box and air filter with a re map will get you up 260+. With rest left as standard. Thats how good the scoob standard fittings are.

 

Ive got a H n S sports cat,ninja centre and a H n S backbox,also got a green filter,do you think i could make 275 ish?

 

Bob is a quality mapper, so sure he can get that if not a little bit more with the exhaust system you have fitted. Anything else and you need to start looking at your turbo, the intercooler is good, but fitting a STi one also help in the quest for more bhp. This is where the replacing the fuel pump will also come in.
Decide what you want to start with, don't go mad. Then take it to the next stage when happy.
Good luck
Bob will be sort you out.

 

no need for fuel regulator, just a 255 fuel pump will do. got mine mapped agan yesterday to 330 enjoy your newly mapped car its like thev frst day you drove it

jim

 

Just like to say a big thankyou for all of your input, im feeling alot better about getting the remap,Cheers.

 

the standed reg carnt cope with the extra amount of fuel passes though it

have a word with bob

me thinks thinks

john

 

Why cant it? I certainly dont have an uprated fpr and didnt on the previous one either.

I thought you only needed one if you wanted to up the fuel pressure to get a bit more from the injectors?

 

Ive spoken to Bob Rawles and he informed me i dont need a FPR,he said you dont need one until you get near the 350-400bhp mark as the standard one would cope.

 

Out of interest did you ask him a an uprated fuel pump was required?

 

i didnt, ive gone with a walbro 255lph pump

 

The uprated pumps are required, as you are demanding more fuel than spec, as designed with the standard one fitted.
